Providenciales, TCI, December 22, 2016 – Having just been appointed as the interim Leader of the Progressive National Party and Leader of the Opposition I wish to congratulate Hon Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson and the People’s Democratic Movement for their impressive victory at the recent polls in the General Elections. The people have spoken and “the voice of the people is the voice of God.” We wish the new government well in the interest of all who call these islands home.
While we in the PNP are proud of our record of success in restoring growth and stability to these islands; we accept that the people responded to the PDM’s appeal for a change – we could not identify any detail of the changes they refer to, but nevertheless will keep a watchful eye out for them to ensure that when they come that they are in the public’s best interest.
By the standards of any international measurement the PNP in government achieved in four years what previous governments have not achieved in forty. We thank those who recognize our achievements and supported the party at the poles; we promise that you will not be disappointed. As the alternative government the PNP team is grounded in experience and expertise and in opposition will support the policies, programs, projects and the legislative agenda it left in place; and to the extent that in its judgement government policies align with its own progressive agenda will support those policies. It will continue to articulate and promote the broad interests of all voters and work to improve parliamentary decision-making procedures by ensuring debate, reflection and contradiction; scrutinize the legislative and budgetary proposals of the government; supervise and oversee the government and the administration with the view to enhance stability, legitimacy, accountability and transparency in the political processes.
